The former home of the Baltimore Grain Trading Exchange has been put up for sale by its owner.

Cushman & Wakefield, a real estate firm, says Commerce Exchange Building, home to the defunct Baltimore International College, is up for sale.

The structure, with 80,555 square feet, was built in 1906 after the Great Baltimore Fire of 1904. It was renovated in 1985. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is two blocks from the Inner Harbor.

Tax records show Baltimore International College bought the Commerce Street building in 1992 for $665,000. It is assessed for tax purposes at $1.1 million.

Cushman & Wakefield says the building is suited for multifamily, hotel, office or retail use.
